It finally feels like fall!

What a wonderful day today, the wind is blowing and there is a chill in the air. My favorite time of year has arrived! It is going to get down into the low 40's at night for the next week. I can't wait until that is the temperature during the day! I love the cold weather!





Here is a card I've been working on this past week. I cut the felt petals with a sizzix die, then I hand embroidered around the edges then adhered them into the flower shape, then added some gold beads in the middle for the finishing touch. I experimented with some different stitches on my new machine and liked this one I used along the edge the best.I forgot to set the stitch length from the last stitch I tried so it isn't as big as I wanted it but once I got started, there was no turning back. Good reason why to test on paper first BEFORE you try a new stitch on your finished piece. I tested the last stitch on paper but changed my mind at the last minute and didn't change the stitch length so at least I attempted to test on paper first!

I made a big pot of homemade vegetable soup and I rented a couple movies so I think I'll eat a big bowl of soup watch movies tonight! I'll be back in my craft room tomorrow to work on more projects.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
